I screen my compost through 1/2" hardware cloth before I give it to people in big bags. They're always amazed at how uniform and spongy it is, and at all the little worms. The coarse stuff that gets screened out is ideal for reincorporating in the compost pile because its irregular shape creates air space, and while it has little sticks and things that haven't broken down, it's coated with all the same good microbes that are all through the pile, so it will inoculate the new material you mix it with. It's a win-win.
